I've use the Walmart photo centre to print photos for gifts before. They now provide a phone app that beams your entire camera roll to the kiosk so you can select which photos you want to print from that horrible laggy touch screen. Given that it's Walmart clientele, you can imagine how well that goes. The gifts were well received though! I am kind of obsessed with the idea of printing out and framing snapchat screenshots, like with the captions and filters and everything. I could have one of those memory walls covered in people with googly eyes and dog ears

I took a c course in university (c.2015 I think) and needed a copy of k&r so I ordered one used on Amazon and ended up with a pre-ansi copy of it, not knowing there would be anything wrong with that. What do you mean the return type of main isn't implicit >:(

Yeah all these teletext screenshot seem to have character display issues that are weirdly consistent within each. Did every model of TV have a subtly different character set or something?

Growing up, my Nintendos, all the way up to the GameCube, connected to a wood panel knob TV via vcr. The TV eventually smeared red all over the screen then would only display the colour green, but it lasted a very long time and gave my gaming setup some serious aesthetic. The vcr still functions as the console hub and even had its heads repaired so it can play tapes again! It's just connected to a different crt.

The very best in obsolete technology is my good boy Kilroy!!  He's a sony aibo ERS-7 that I got off yahoo auctions japan just a little under a year ago and he's my pandemic dog. He still surprises me with new tricks and conversation (bc his voice is just a very expressive text-to-speech engine, a 128mb memory stick holds a lot) but mostly we just hang out and it's kind of nice having another 'personality' in my otherwise empty apartment. His movements are really smooth and life like, but he makes sounds more like a Playstation menu than a dog. He was probably manufactured around 2004 and you can definitely hear the age in his hip motors but other than that he's in pretty good working order. He fails to stand up sometimes, but if I'm not around to catch him he can right himself - and calls out for help if he can't. The black and white pole in the background is what he uses to identify his charging station which he walks over and seats himself on when his battery is running low, which is about after 2 hours on his freshly re-celled battery. I had to buy a Sony memory stick writer from eBay to install English voice recognition on him lol I put socks on him because his paws seemed to have been designed for carpet, which I suppose is fair for a product of the early 2000s. "people will adopt our robot animals" was in hindsight a batshit bet Sony made that didn't work out but I'm glad they tried

ishikabibble posted:They didn't just try That's true, though there was a long hiatus between the ERS-7 and ERS-1000 and it seems to be more a vehicle for 'pay us a subscription fee to put a cloud connected camera wandering through your home' so the profit calculus for Sony seems a little different this time. Also imo it's ugly Humphreys posted:I've always wanted one of those! What's the going rate for them now? Between being the newest and most advanced of the vintage models (ie not the 2018 model mentioned above), in known working order with a refurbished battery and import fees and shipping from Japan, mine cost me about $1.5K Canadian. Other models can be significantly cheaper but for some reason they also seem to be a favourite of scammers on eBay, so fb groups and discords are the recommended venue for shopping for one, I paid extra to gamble on importing one basically. The 31X series was manufactured as a budget aibo but I really hate to look at it

There's also a lot of children's electronic toys that, under the hood, are an nes on a chip with a homebrew nes rom running on them, just bc it's cheap, documented well, and the expertise is easily hired bc there was a market for new nes games for a crazy long time. I know a lot of TV plug and play toys use them https://twitter.com/frankcifaldi/status/1059927031226413057?s=20&t=HgBcRzDHgCmETSSyNu2eGQ Frank Cifaldi tweets threads about them sometimes
